Voting for 8. It can't be one of those with "of" since I've seen enough abbrev. With lowercase o in them eg School of Magic is SoM. And I'd rather not bandwagon so please don't choose the same as me.

SHARE - If 2 then --AR- since: --A-- is known, PENCE=0, CHALK=1, CHIRP=1, so only one of R and P is correct, therefore SH are not correct in SHARP=2. If 1 then --A-P since: --A-- is known, PENCE=0, CHALK=1, CHIRP=1, so only one of R and P is correct and R is not correct because SHARE=1

MONTE - if 1 then M--- since WORTH, PENCE=0.
